Them thar gun nuts

The Sikh temple shooting graphically illustrates, once more, why we need to confiscate guns. Civilians can’t be trusted with guns. Only the pros should be allowed to carry guns. Guns ownership ought to be confined to professional soldiers and law-enforcement officers. Not to untrained, trigger-happy civilians.

Wait a minute…wasn’t the shooter an army vet? Okay, well I guess restricting gun access to the pros won’t solve the problem after all.

Maybe there was an understandable fog of confusion surrounding the event. I can't imagine how it was to have been there. But here's the AP video of a man claiming that there were four gunmen, one of whom was shot, and further claiming that his uncle was one of those shot, not fatally, thankfully, at least not to his knowledge at that time.
